Google, OpenAI, and Meta (Facebook or whatever) have been having a free for all, trying to topple each with GPT5, Llama, and Bard. However, Apple has been REALLY quiet on the issue with A.I. , and focused on the release of this overpriced monstrosity, the Apple Vision Pro.
It's a really big gamble with the $3500 price tag, but so was the iPhone many moons ago, and now everyone will dump their credit and their bank account for the latest iPhone Version Doodaad. I believe Apple is sidestepping this brawl to focus on perfecting augmented reality. This will ultimately unite the hardware with AR applications, and eventually lead to AI applications being embedded into the Vision Pro bundle.
In short, while the Big 3 are playing, "King of the AI Mountain', by pummeling each other to the ground. Apple is going to build a perfect ladder to climb up the mountain without having to fight at all.
How? Picture people wearing the Vision Pro, but they can talk to the AI application that can be accessed via-cloud computing to their headset. People would ask it for directions ("Where can I dump a dead hooker from my current location?"), and the AI will respond to you with directions to the most optimal spot along with recommendations to buy the most in-demand products used by people who are looking to dump a body of a dead hooker (shovel, tarps, gloves... ooooh available at Walmart 50% off).
It will also give a list of excuses in case you get pulled over by the police, a list of highly recommended criminal defense attorneys, and the location of churches so you can try to find redemption after dumping the dead hooker in a random hole somewhere. These directions will act like arrows telling you where to walk (think of the mission locator system in Dead Space), and the recommendations mentioned earlier will be listed on the side like the "mission window" of a video game.
Is covering up a murder getting you down? Well, the AI embedded with the Vision Pro can play some heart-warming music or a popular musical song that you can hum to or watch something funny and cute from Disney, all without interrupting you from dragging the dead hooker out of the car and into the hole you dug out in the desert in the sweltering 3 a.m. heat.
As always, Apple is sidestepping the "who has the best AI" and focusing on the more important task, "What device or peripheral can AI be used upon seamlessly for the best user experience?"
